Vampire Wars' Imp Familiars: Cool new looks, same old Energy boost

Zynga's most recent update to Vampire Wars--well, aside from a whole new city to explore--introduces Imp Familiars to go with your Avatar. While they provide the same old Energy boosts Familiars have for, oh, I don't know, forever, these are probably the most badass-looking items to find their way into the game in a long time. The Veined Imp (that just sounds gross) provides 25 Energy for 40 Favor Points. The next two Imps definitely do the name justice when it comes to devilish looks, but provide the same old function. The Horned Imp, a green feathered-winged beast, provides 40 Energy for 60 Favor Points, (which is less than those before) while the avian Beaked Imp grants 55 Energy for 80 Favor Points.

Again, these items are only available for Favor Points and must be purchased in order if you want the Beaked Imp. We find it strange that these Familiars provide even less Energy than the Ghost Familiars yet they cost the same amounts. While this will most definitely put off plenty of folks, if there were any Familiars that I would buy, it would be these little devils. If there were a stat called "Badassery," these would boost that imaginary number by at least over 9,000. Nonetheless, it's up to you to decide on the price tag for looking cool.

What do you think of the new Imp Familiars? While these do look fearsome, what else do you think Zynga could do to Familiars to make them more interesting? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.
